From innocently conning controversial radio duo Kyle and Jackie O as a kid, time in a Zambian convent as a teen, to nearly becoming an air traffic controller before finding her real passion - helping others find their voice - Astrid Jorgensen has quite a story to tell. Her new memoir is called Average At Best. She is anything but. She is anything but. On any one night, anywhere in the world, you’ll find Astrid on a stage in front of a few thousand people singing their hearts out. But to call Astrid Jorgensen a choir conductor doesn’t really capture the incredible global phenomenon she’s created.  She’s the founder, composer, and host of Pub Choir, described as the “world’s biggest one night stand in song”. This event was organised by <a href="https://www.northernbooks.com.au/">Northern Books</a> in Castlemaine and held at the<a href="https://www.yarracity.vic.gov.au/things-to-do/find-a-venue/fitzroy-town-hall"> Fitzroy Town Hall</a> in Naarm/Melbourne.SpeakerAstrid JorgensenFounder and conductor of <a href="https://www.pubchoir.com.au/">Pub Choir</a>Author, Average At Best (Simon and Schuster Australia, 2025)Further information<a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-29/astrid-jorgensen-pub-choir-phenomenon/105785800">How Astrid Jorgensen turned a suburban pub choir into a worldwide musical phenomenon</a> (Australian Story/ABC News, 2025)Watch <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/programs/austory">Australian Story </a>episode about Astrid <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GtH-ALEEOo&list=PLDTPrMoGHssDzqF7spxT_VH3Zd266tSEp&index=19">on Youtube</a> (2025)
